Several answers have been received concerning Blake courses. Professor G. E. Bentley, Jr. writes: “Frye and I have for alternate years given graduate courses on Blake at Toronto.” Professor John E. Grant of the University of Iowa says: “I have made him the sole or primary subject of the seminar on Romanticism for the last two years and will again do so next year. Specifically: 1966, Poetry and Design in Blake; 1967, Long Poems of Blake and Keats; 1968, ‘Lyrical Ballads’ and ‘Songs of Innocence and of Experience.” Professor Irene H. Chayes gave an undergraduate and a graduate course on Blake at the State University of New York at Binghamton in 1966-67. Professor Martha W. England gave a graduate seminar on Blake at Queens College (City University of New York) in the spring of 1967. “The title was catalogued ‘Blake and His Contemporaries,’ but we discussed only contemporary artists—and these very briefly. Discussions were based almost altogether on color slides of Blake’s books.”
